xp reboots!!!!

[Guest]

My computer reboots itself right before welcome screen apears, and gives me
the following description:
STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005,0X80579217,0XAFE3CA58,0X00000000)

Now, this isn't the first time, it's actually like 5th time, my only
solution is recover my system, but I don't want to do that process all over
again.

I've read questions and answers postted on this forum similar to my problem,
and I don't find answer right for me.

You guys give a possible solution, running windows repair console from
windows xp cd, but to make things worst I don't have that cd because when I
bought my computer I just got a dvd recovery backup.

Is there another way to solve this problem, I'm able to run my computer on
my second hard drive and browse in the one I have the problem, I'm using win
xp in both hard drives.

thank you

PS if you think I dont have more options than recover my system, please let
me know anyway, otherwise I might think my post wasn't read

Normally when this occurs it is your memory going bad or already went bad.
Do you have access to say two sticks of memory? Maybe you could take one
out and leave one in then do vice versa until you replicate the problem? If
it doesn't occur I suggest taking out everything from your cd-rom to your
dvd-burner. Just plug the essentials in, hard drive, memory, cpu, video
card. Boot up into Windows, try to replicate the problem. Keep adding one
item back until you can replicate the problem. Then you can diagnose from
there.

This probably isn't going to tell you much. This is perhaps the most common
bugcheck and is very general. To determine what driver is causing the
problem I need you to enable driver verifier.
Steps:
1) Windows Key + R
2) Type in 'verifier' and hit enter
3) Make sure 'Create Standard Setting' is selected and hit next
4) Click on 'Select all drivers installed on this computer' and hit Finish
5) Reboot

There is a possibility that your computer will crash on reboot. If this
occurs hit F8 when rebooting just before the windows logo screen and select
the safe mode boot option. Follow the same steps above but on step 4 choose
'Select driver names from a list'; hit next; check the box next to any
driver where the provider is not Microsoft; hit Finish; reboot.

This will slow the performance of you computer a little while enabled but
will hopefully catch the driver causing corruption. Next time you crash
the blue screen will hopefully say something like
"DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION". If this occurs please send the
corresponding minidump (by default it is at c:\windows\Minidump ) my way.
If you have any questions or I didn't explain something well enough don't
hesitate to e-mail me back. Good Luck,

Well, thanks for all the help guys,I did all you guys told me to,but nothing
still the same problem I guess my only choice is going to be recover my
system all over again, but after I load all my essential programas and all
updates I'm going to make another backup dvd in case this happens in the
future( I'm sure it will), well thanks again.

Reboot loop
If your computer is set to reboot automatically after a blue screen crash,
you may never get to see the blue screen. In that case press F8 after the
BIOS boot phase, when Windows begins to boot from the hard disk. You may
have to press F8 a few times to hit the right time.

Then select the choice (new with Service Pack 2): Disable automatic restart
on system failure.

Sorry I forgot to add this

Hangs after reboot, keeps rebooting endlessly, or does not shut down
These can be caused by incompatible drivers or firmware for some devices or
by an outdated BIOS.

Nero Burning Rom should be updated to a version of 2004-09 or later. Earlier
versions were incompatible with Service Pack 2.

A4Tech USB mice were incompatible with Service Pack 2 in August 2004.
Contact A4Tech for an updated driver. Meanwhile you can try to use the mouse
through the accompanying USB to PS2 adapter if your computer also has a PS2
mouse port. If not, follow the advice of Pedro Silva, who wrote that he
could boot when the mouse was not plugged in. He thus updated the mouse
driver without using the mouse. With the updated drivers the problem was
gone.

Often the boot process hangs after the driver AGP440.sys, Mup.sys, or some
other driver, often a graphics driver, has been loaded. You can check this
by booting into safe mode.

The last driver displayed may or may not be the one causing trouble. It
could be the next one, if the computer halts before its name is displayed.

To test whether the video driver is the cause, uninstall it entirely and
hope that Windows installs a working, if older driver. Make a note of the
name of the driver and check whether it changes.

If you cannot even boot in safe mode, try to boot in Standard VGA mode.

If you cannot boot the computer at all, you have a few choices to try to
rename the offending driver, then try to boot normally.

a.. Boot from the Windows XP install CD, select the Recovery Console.
b.. Boot into a second Windows XP installation.
c.. Use a third party tool to access the hard disk.
d.. Temporarily install the hard disk in another computer.
Alternatively, do a repair installation with a full retail Windows XP
installation CD, which should overwrite most of Service Pack 2. See chapter
Read this first at the top for details.

In the worst case you may have to remove the video adapter and replace it
with another one.

Check the manufacturer's web site for a newer driver or newer firmware for
the graphics adapter.

In case the video adapter or driver is not the cause, check your motherboard
BIOS version and load the latest BIOS. If that's not it, check the
manufacturer's web site for other special drivers, particularly hard disk
controller drivers for RAID or SATA drives. Check for a fresh update and
install that.

If all this doesn't help, you can try to find out or guess which driver it
is, then try to substitute the old driver (the one used before SP2) for the
new one that came with SP2.

Look at my earlier answer here a couple of days ago.XP will always
reboot if it senses a system problem.You can turn off this proceedure
as I stated in my earlier answer.Look for the thread "XP not loading
properly"
